Master of Science - Psychological Sciences (Conversion)

This conversion course has been tailored to provide students with a firm foundation in the core areas of psychology as defined by the British Psychological Society (BPS). These include biological, cognitive, social, developmental, social psychology, individual differences and statistics and research methods.

Students will also develop analytic expertise and research skills, creating a solid basis for further advanced study within the discipline (e.g. PhD, ClinPsyD, DEdPsy).

Brunel's academic experts use a wide variety of teaching methods including lectures, seminars and self-directed learning to provide them with a comprehensive learning experience. Students are fully supported throughout the whole degree process including having a personal tutor and receiving one-to-one specialist academic supervision to complete the empirical research project that will demonstrate their depth of knowledge of a specialist area in psychology.

As an accredited psychology course, those who pass the MSc (including passing their dissertation research project), they'll be eligible to apply for graduate membership of the British Psychology Society.  Membership will be key if they choose to pursue further postgraduate training to become a practitioner psychologist.
